Today, I revert to my archives to the year 2001, the place a quiet Nauset Beach in Orleans Massachusetts, at the 'elbow' on Cape Cod. This beach is this day sitting above an unusually calm Atlantic Ocean.
The view is mostly bland with the sand in tan, the ocean in a briny blue and the sky a misty gray.
The color arrives courtesy of then 10 year old Cameron, trotting toward the photographer - clad in RED! The stark ruby contrast to the bland is readily apparent in the shirt. And a happy kid on vacation at the beach as way far from bland! Thanks for hosting RT, MMT!

I love this photo of our Cameron! He looks happy indeed.
Yes, he looks so happy!
Happy RT2!
Who wouldn't be happy when you're at the beach? A paradise for kids and adults alike!
Great capture. I love his smile.

Looks like he had a lot of fun!

your children have the most wonderful smiles
The red is so vivid against the duller sand. I suppose the young man is very different by now. But equally charming, I'm sure.
So much vivid eager in Cameron's face.
I hope he still has that wonderful ability to happiness.
Great catch.
Cameron certainly looks filled with the joy of just being alive! Great action shot! And wow does that red T shirt stand out!
Great way to introduce the red - but it's overshadowed by that wonderfully natural smile!
RED Rocks!!
Somehow it doesn't matter the sand is bland and the sky gray because Cameron's smiling face says it all - when you're on vacation all that matters is vacation and loved ones.
Don't you look at this and wonder where that little boy and time has gone?
My son and his son visited this weekend - what a wake up call. :)
It's easy to be joyful with a shirt like that.
This looks more like a head-on charge than a trot to me!
BOY IN BRIGHT RED SHORTS
Boy in bright red shorts,
With a shirt of blue,
Strolling on the Malecón —
I wish I were you;
Carefree and content,
Nothing much to do,
Chillin’ in your bright red shorts
And your shirt of blue.
